Need Help?
Not every excellent working Kelpie has historically been registered, and we understand that many valuable working bloodlines exist outside formal registries.
If you’re unsure whether your dog is eligible for registration, or you’d like to discuss the history of your dog’s breeding lines, we’d be delighted to help.
Please get in touch with the BATWK Registration Secretary for advice before submitting your application.
